Hi guys, need a bit of help on this. I've got 2 options basically:

1. Get a cheap r32 gts4, transplant a 2.8stroked rb26 with 2530s and support systems.

2. A minimally modded (intake,exhaust) r32 gtr with about 140ks.

Which one would u choose and why?

What other differences are there between a r32gtr and r32gts4 apart from the engine? I know the gts4 is lighter and apparently the gearbox has a shorter ratio. Can u tell me some more?

Thanks tremendously

how much do you think a stroked rb26 with bigger turbo's will set you back? (including the cost of the conversion, and support systems).

at the end of the day option # 1 will still be a gts-4. so you wont have the decent brakes, seats, flared gaurds, different atessa system etc. and you will also have poorer resale value.

hawks, ive got a running fairly good condition gts4 at 45k and a 2.8Lrb26 with hks2510s around 15k, labour will be max around 3k.Planning for r33 brakes, support will cost round 10-15k.

r32 gtrs here valued at 100-120k depending on mods + condition.

Looking at a bargain one at 85k (mild mods). Still, it's a gtr :rofl: but im not that happy to spend another 20+k to get it to around 550-600bhp where i want it

okay, put it this way. i'll give you the example in aussie dollars.

option #1 gts-4 approx $15-20 grand

stroked rb26 with larger turbo's and box and fuel system, exhaust, brakes, labour etc approx $20 grand

option # 2 a decent r32 gtr maybe with a few basic mods $35 grand

at the end of the day you could have either a modified gts-4 worth about $20 grand or a gtr. i would take the gtr thanks.

Gobiz;

What do you want the car to do? Street cred/drag/cct race/motorkhana/daily driver or something else altogether?

the gts4 has the same attesa system as the GTR. the differences are the brakes, flared guards, interior is different, wheels, engine, gearbox is same box weaker in GTS-4. and thats about it, i have a 4 door GTS-4 so it looks like a normal everyday car ( sleeper ).

:(

Yeah, and you'll never get over the look on the guys face in the GTR at the drag strip after you leave him in your wake of your $20k GTS4.

Who cares if its gts4 or gtr or gts-t for that matter, if its a skyline with a rb26 and 2530's, it will haul, end of story.

Any skyline deserves respect.

You are right, the gearboxes are absolutely identical, ratios and all. The R32 GTS4 with the RB20 has the different lower gear ratios. The R33 GTS4 is the same as all the GTRs.

I looked at this GTS4 vs GTR thing myself a while back, it is a tough decision. At the end I suppose it depends on what you really want. If you want a GTR, only the real thing is going to satisfy that......

But if you want a great sleeper, a GTS4 with stock four stud wheels and stock on the outside would make a great street sleeper. You are a lot less likely to have it vandalised or stolen as well.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
